Vikings haven't approached Kyle Rudolph about a contract extension

Kyle Rudolph is entering the final year of his rookie contract and he would like to stick around beyond 2014, but he said today that the Vikings have not approached him about an extension.

“I've really enjoyed my time here, from the top down, in our organization,” said Rudolph, who was participating in the team’s volunteer offseason workout program. “I think we have the best owners in football. They're willing to do anything for us to win. Everybody in the front office, the new staff, I really like the direction this team is going in. I'm excited to be a part of that future."

Rudolph is also excited about the present. The left foot he fractured during the season has been fully healed for about two months now and he has been studying tape of the Cleveland Browns from last season so he can get a feel for how he will be utilized in Norv Turner’s new offense.
